Cachepot Candle Warmer - Marble Blue

A decorative jar candle holder and candle warmer in one. The Cachepot Warmer (TM) candle warmer features a 20 watt heating plate and an approximate 4 inch inside diameter. The inside height is approximately 2-3/4” so that standard 8 oz. and 11 oz. fit totally inside, and 14.5 oz. standard apothecary jars have only the neck sticking up. Recommended for jars with up to 15 oz. of remaining wax. Includes on/off switch and indicator light.

Candle Warmers work differently than lighting a candle warmer with a wick. In both cases, heat causes the candle to melt and emit fragrance; however when you light a candle, the wax also evaporates over time with the fragrance. When you heat a candle with a candle warmer, only the scent evaporates; the wax does not. Even when the candle eventually runs out of fragrance, there is still a full pool of wax. The overall fragrance time from melting a candle with a candle warmer should approximate the burn time when lighting the candle with a wick.

It is fine to use candles with wicks with candle warmers; however the wick will eventually fall into the pool of melted wax. After this happens, it will be impossible to light the wick and burn the candle with a flame.

It is important to use a candle warmer that is appropriate for the size of the candle being melted. For example, TartBurners.com sells Large Jar Candle Warmers that have metal insides that make it best to melt apothecary jar candles in the 22 oz. to 26 oz. size. Most of the other candle warmers we sell really should only be used with jars with up to about 15 oz. or 16 oz. of wax. Larger jars may melt, but they take a long time to emit fragrance.
